There are so many conflicts in the world and humanitarian crises that nobody cares about. Idk why people that are not from Palestine nor Israel get so worked out over this particular conflict. Don't you people have injustices you need to fix in your own general area?
If you really want to do some good in society, invest your time and energy where you can make a difference instead of what's currently popular in the media. No matter where you live, I'm sure there are many causes that demand your attention that you can help with.
I would argue that when it comes to social media, people not only are not bothered by unnecessary suffering, but they actively seek it out. If social media algorithms have shown us anything is that people actively want to be outraged. And isn't it comfortable for them? How many people that are justice warriors online actively do something productive over the matter and how many just use the conflict to seek attention and gloat over their exemplary moral compass?
Remember the Ukrainian conflict? How rightfully outraged everyone was? But now that's old news. People are fatigued by it and their statements online about it don't get traction anymore. So most justice online warriors have moved one to the latest popular topic. So easy, so comfy.
Don't get me wrong, all these events are disastrously tragic. Both leaderships in Palestine and Israel are murderous monsters. But the fact that it's a popularity contest just points out how vain most people's motivation is.
